Actually, the majority of the media and companys do assume the entire UK is backing England.

We get Mars adverts in Scotland saying "C'mon England!" with the St George wrappers and the Pringooooals adverts with Peter Crouch and the News media is the worst, like ITV News referring to England as "We" and all that, even though it's broadcast to the entire UK and BBC News adding shots of the St George's Flag to their Countdown Clock. Again, even though it's broadcast to the entire UK.

Personally, it just annoys me the way the English act with the World Cup.

The main thing being constantly reffering to 1966. We all get it, you won back then, you don't have to keep going on about it. Even when they drew with USA, the papers and other media were saying "We drew in our first game in '66, we can still win it!". I mean, come the fuck on, that's just going a bit over the top now.

Some other things are that if one thing goes wrong (that was caused by an England player) in one of their matches, whoever caused it, is public enemy number 1 and is loathed all across England and you all seem to have a bad habit of resting all your hopes on just one man, even though you have an entire team.

Also, I found it funny when on ITV before the England/USA match, they showed you what the ESPN advert for the match was like in America, then Adrian Chiles' puss interrupts it and he says "Oh, get over it". Pot calling the kettle black?

1966, get over it.
